Some random things I could tell you about my past week:
"Today a fellow employee pulled a loaded handgun out during his quarterly performance review."
"A gay porn star, who has done gay porn with his brother, refinished & painted my kitchen cabinets."
Oh! You got a rainbow colored kitchen now?
What happened to the trigger happy employee? You're working at the
post office now?
Originally, the kitchen walls were definitely going to be a gay color. The manliness kicked in, and now they're going to be bland.
bland as in?
But tell what happened to the employee with the gun...
The walls were going to be yellow, but the paint was brighter than I thought, so probably just going with some beige that's left over. Unless you women have some better ideas: the rest is white cabinets, beige granite countertops, off-white tile/backsplash. I really don't want to buy more paint, I'm spending an absolute stupid amount of money as it is on this place putting in a new bathroom among other things. Maybe I can mix some beige in the yellow to darken it up?
Guy carries a handgun, and jokingly pulled it out standing in the conference room with our manager & VP of sales. Smart move, knowing some hotel employee could walk by and see some freak holding a pistol.
Paint the kitchen yellow and then
use the beige and go over it with a sponge.
The effect should be very nice.
geesh, I hope the guy doesn't get a promotion anytime soon.
Bringing a handgun to work is definitely a career downer.
mix the two colors together?
An idiot thoughtless and irresponsible enough to employ a firearm as a prop for a joke needs to have the weapon confiscated, his carry permit (if he has one) revoked, and be assessed at the very least a draconian fine if not actually given serious jail time. Prolly oughtta be fired for pulling that stunt in an employment-related situation, too. Guns ain't funny - and I don't think I need to remind anyone I'm a gun-owing, gun-using, hardcore Second Amendment sort.
And if you really need a good review. . . ?

Not to mention he also put on a stupid hat.
Oh ... a funny hat, huh? Well, you shoulda said so - that changes everything, then, dunnit?
BTW, 'k's suggestion for your kitchen sounds pretty nice. Does the room get a lot of light?
Man, this guy's in real trouble. It was a real gun?
One of our middle management got fired last year because, during a meeting with his team, he brought out a prop of handcuffs that he had bought at a party supply store, you know, the kind that cost $2.00 and are obviously fake? Make of really flimsy plastic a 6 month old could rip apart?
Well, it put the pair on a manager as in exercise in what it feels like to "have your hands tied" in a situation (yeah, that lame), and the manager (female I'll admit) reported him later as having made her feel overpowered and captive and weak and whatever.
The guy with the gun? That's about as smart as pulling it out at the security checkpoint at an airport.
So these were 2 brothers that were doing each other? ewww...
Where's your GF in all this slappy, she'll tell you what to do about the paint.
Beige is tres boring, but yellow is really hard to get right. If you go mixing the 2 it might look like puke.
sponging it might be good though.
make it peach, thats really gay enough. My wife was selling yarns to all the gay guys who knit, this years color that she has made was peach. She had to get over three separate dye lots made and thats about 350 skeins per dyelot. Lotta gay guy knitters out there. Their sweaters match their kitchens.
Guy with the gun, needs to have his gun filled with gorilla glue when hes not looking.

Not too bad.
By the way, he's not getting in trouble...kind of hard to imagine, but they all laughed.
What the hell is sponging?

Someone got FIRED for that? What a bunch of ****. I'd come back the next day with a high-powered rifle and just start shooting random people if that happened to me.
Yeah well, I'll give you one guess who took his place....
Sponging looks great - I have one room in my house yellow and sponged
over it with white.
Here is the texture of sponging
Look! There's an alligator!
And it's even got it's mouth open!!!
